THEY WILL DO THEIR DUTY.

THEY WILL DO THEIR DUTY.
1t is to be hoped that the Democratic
members-elect of the next General Assembly
will to-day make the good resolution that
they will maintain their majority of two at
all hazards. They can make no better
resolve. To fail without making a de-
termined fight will be to disgrace
the party and to cripple it. The people will
not condone cowardice. That is the unpar.
donable sin of the politician. If the Re
publicans win it can only be by means
palpably unfair and indecent. We
believe no man elected as a DEM
ocrat will prove recreant to his duty as
Democrat, though Chairman Huston, of the
Republican Central Committee, appears to
think sufficient influences may be brought
to bear upon some Democratic mem
bers of the Senate to make them
betray their party obligations. Mr..
Huston is mistaken in the timber. We
are sure that the thirty-one Democratic Sen
ators will preserve to the end an
unbroken line of opposition to the
Republican scheme to save Senator Har-
rison by converting the Democratic
majority into a minority. If Mr.. Huston
supposes for one instant that any Democrat
can be induced to vote outright for Senator
Harrison he is a fit subject for a lunscy COM
mission. We are entirely convinced that
the Democratic Senators will not be bribed
or bulldozed into yielding a single
point to the advantage of the Republican
marplots. They viii do their duty though
the dome of the Capitol should collapse.
Public sentiment demands that there shall
be fair play, and that no one of the seventy
six Democrats shall be unseated

MIR. PERKINS OUT AGAIN.

Mr.. Perkins is on this happy New Years
day walking the streets as usual. This will
doubtless very greatly distress the souls OF
the Republican Committee of One Hundred,
the members of which have been for some
time in state Of hysterical hilarity
over the fact that he had been
immured in a dungeon cell. Whatever
may be the ultimate outcome of the proceed
ing, Mr.. Perkins has at least done the cause
of justice service by calling the attention
of the public to the relations of the State and
Federal courts, for one may not consider
the question OF the Commissioners juris-
diction without wondering how it came
about that the defendants were arraigned be-
fore Federal magistrate. In order that
such an arrangement could be had, it was
necessary to take advantage of
literal and technical construction of
Federal statute. The more the people think
about the matter the more FESTIVE must they
become, and we would not be in any degree
surprised if, in 1888, there would be very
positive demand on the part OF the
people that the scope of the Federal judiciary
should be definitely limited, and that the
line separating the Jurisdiction of State
aud Federal courts should be more
accurately drawn. Indeed, we know no
better employment for Congress and
the State Legislatures this winter
than a studious consideration of this
very subject. The danger of an armed
clashing between State and Federal author
tiles over this matter Of the relative rights
of State and Federal courts is daily growing
more imminent. We have already drifted
far from the teachings of the fathers OF the

THE CONTROL OF THE GOVERN
MENT."

The Indianapolis Sentinel in noticing our decIa-
ration that the Democratic party should stand for
ideas and principles of government, and not exist
simply TO secure offices for "the boys" observes
that ION the ultimate triumph OF Democratic doc
trlnes the men who upheld them should be per
mitted to take full control Of the Government"
And It holds that "the maintenance OF those doc
tIines is only possible under that condition"
1t is mistaken and pernicious theory that to
the "full control OF the Government" and the
maintenance of the doctrines of a party the
possession and partisan use OF all the Offices are
essential. What have the great army OF
clerks and other subordinates, the Post
masters and other business agents of the
people, to do with the doctrines OF a party?
Did not Democratic doctrines prevail during the
Administration of Thomas Jefferson, though he
made less than twenty removals in eight years,
and these for cause? Did not Gladstone and his
associates have "fun control Of the Government"
during their lease of power, without making
clean sweep of the minor public officials? Will
not Lord Salisbury be able to maintain the
doctrines Of the Tory party without the help of
post officials and other civil servants?
1t is absurd, and something worse than that, to
make political party a mere purveyor of offices.
And it is not true that the possession of the minor
places is essential to the 'fu control of the Gov
Your citation of Jefferson's example has
nothing to do with the case, as any student
of history knows. Besides Jefferson was, to
use the language of a high authority, "a
Democrat who held, as a radical doctrine of
his philosophy, the principle that one man
is no better than another" Your con-
temporary illustrations are British, of course.
ALI the mugwumps point to the British
method as the example we should follow
The very fact that the mugwump doctrine
has British origin should condemn it abso-
lutely in the estimation of Americans.
What we do not want in this country is
anything that tends to place our Govern
ment on British lines. The fact is that
the less we have to do with
abroad in formulating principles either
social, economic or governmental, the
better it will be for US. The conditions that
prevail in this land of Jefferson and Wash
ington are wholly unique. We must be a
nation of original thinkers and builders. 1t
is for US to set examples. Our Republic is
itself without parallel among nations of the
present and past. The instant we begin to
establish governmental policies just because
they happen to fit conditions that obtain in
England or France OF Germany, that mo-
ment do we begin to lose in character.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN2

We reproduce from the Sentinel of yester-
day the following delectable official letter
from the chairman Of the Republican State
Central Committee:
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. Is, 1856.
DEAR srR-WIn you please answer the following
interrogatories concerning Mt. -, Democratic
Joint Senator-elect from your county, 1 assure
you your reply shall be kept in the strIetest Sc
erecy:
!. What is the age Of Mr.. -?
.. What is his occupation
g. Has he affiliated with any other party
than the Democratic
4. Has he been prominent Democratic
worker?
o. What are his views on the temperance ques-
tom
G. Who is ais choice for United States senatorf
Ascertain his hrst and second choice tor Senator.
Find out from Mr.. personally, Tor this is
important. Do not believe street talk but ascer-
tain correctly
Please give Us an immediate reply, and assure
you it viii be under secrecy. 1 remain yours,
truly, JAMES n. HUsToRr Chairman.
This letter has been sent to every SEN
atoriaI district in the State.
What does 1t mean?
1t means a scheme of some kind. 1t looks
like the first step in policy of ilIegitimate
persuasion. 1t has bad complexion from
whatever standpoint it is regarded. And it
also shows that the Democratic members of
the Legislature will have to fight to hold
their own. The Republican leaders intend
to win, and will not scruple as to methods.
They can not succeed by fair means,
because there is fairly-elected
Democratic majority of two on joint bal
lot. They must, therefore. resort to unfair
means. They have resolved upon this with
infamous elaboration The letter of Chair
man Huston shows a wicked purpose IN
every line. The Democratic members must
prepare themselves for war to the knife.

Hill and the AIugwumps.


Whether Governor Hill shall go this week to
Washington upon visit or not, there is no doubt
that President Cleveland has specially invited
him to do so. And the obvious desire of the
President to maintain friendly relations with the
Governor, though highly commendable both from
a social and party point of view-for the latter
is a most genial and likable gentlemen, as well as
the head of his party in the Empire State-has
nevertheless, its funny aspects.
Who is this David B. Hill that the President is
so DESTROYS of being on friendly terms with? Ac-
eoTding to the independents and the mugwumps,
whose opinion Mr.. Cleveland has seemed to value
so highly, Governor Hill is the incarnation of sll
that is bad in politics. When he was running for
Governor we were told by these selfconstituted
guardians OF the Presidents political conscience
that the Governor was spokesman" "Wire.
puller," the ex-partner of "Thief Tweed"
and the head center of political rings. intent
upon plundering the State. So low was the mug
wump opinion OF Governor Bill, indeed, that
they left to the Democrats the entire work OF
electing him. And, though the men who admired

up to It, were able to elect him by eleven times the

Yet it is this man whom the President specially
invites to Washington as MS guest. And though
it is given out that the visit is be purely So
cial," the obvious insufliciency of such expla-
nation will cause the sophisticated to smile.

THE NEW YEAR.

The year which last night died upon the
stroke Of twelve brought 10 calamity to the
United States as a nation. 1t was a year of
peace and plenty, and the people are to-day
richer and happier than they were
twelve months ago. But while this
may be said, speaking generally,
the year was not without extraordinary in
cident, for included in its annals are the
Charleston earthquake, The exploits of the
Anarchists in Chicago, the great railroad
strike, and the death Of a number OF tae
country's most distinguished citizens.
The new year begins without bad
omens for US. Across the water
wars are threatened. II they occur the
farmers of this land will be greatly bene-
flied and If the wars should be prolonged we
may expect a year of booms in bust
ness and lively speculation. The man
with money laid by can therefore
view the prospect with complacency,
and the man who has no money at all may
well hope to find himself in better condition
a year hence than he is to-day. The
Sheriff will probably find it a dull year.
So it looks now; but We have
to remember this is country

THE LEGISLATURES.

The General Assembly which will be
| called to order this week will be the first to
sit in the new Capitol
Its proceedings should be characterized
|signally by important legislation. Business
should be rapidly transacted. The relations
Of the members should be harmonious. It
should DO quicker work and more of it than
any other legislative body in the history OF
the State.
Such should be its record, for the first
legislative body to sit IN this magnificent
femple should set an instructive example.
But sixty days hence will we be able to
congratulate the people Of the State upon the
magnitude and value of the work accom-
blished? We fear not. And if not, who will
be TO blame? The answer is easy-the Re-
publican members.
In order that the legislation demanded by
he people may be achieved it is only nee.
ssery that the members elected by the
people shall be allowed to retain their seats.
eventy-six Democrats were thus elected
nd seventy-four Republicans If these
evenly Democrats shall be permitted TO
etain their seats, everything will proceed
uietly and decently. But If the Republican
hajority OF the House Of Repre-
entatiyes, in order TO elect a
United States Senator, shall supplant
ny fairly elected Democrat by a defeated
Republican, then there will be trouble. We
re sure the people do not wish their bust
ess to be transacted by men whom they
ave not chosen for the purpose. And we
re also sure that the people would prefer a
rotracted fight on the part of the Demo-
rats for their rights, whatever legislative
usiness may have to be neglected in order
make it.
But there will be no trouble unless the Re-
nblicans begin 1t. The entire responsibility

No Leaders in Congress.
New York Times. j

In Congress itself there are no great leaders. Mr..
Edmunds in the Senate and Mr.. Carlisle in the
House are men OF strong minds and firm conYic-
tons. Each of them is thoroughly respected, and,
so far as concerns moral qualities, for much the
same reasons But neither Of them really leads
his party, and Mr.. Edmunds, with clear per-
eeption of lofty ideal in some directions, seems
to have given up trying to get his party to adopt
it, and consents to keep pace with the rear
guard. Nobody certainly would think of COM
pairing Congress to-day with the Congress of war
tin es or for a half dozen years after the war.
That body at present is composed largely in both
houses Of men of moderate ability, narrow and
master the questions Of the day, and below
rather than above. the level of the more intelli
gent of their constituents.
